Lord Ganesha - 2

Posted by PRASHANT (Mumbai, India) on 12 September 2010 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

The festival is observed in the Hindu calendar month of Bhaadrapada, starting on the shukla chaturthi (fourth day of the waxing moon period). The date usually falls between 20 August and 15 September. The festival lasts for 10 days, ending on Anant Chaturdashi (fourteenth day of the waxing moon period).
While celebrated all over India, it is most elaborate in Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Outside India, it is celebrated widely in Nepal and Tamil Hindus in Sri Lanka.

Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but, I love the way that you party! We have 1 day here, 2 days there-your celebrations go on for 10 days or more! Serious partying-and, of course, strict religious observance-I'm sure!!
